I know these doors are a little more than you were wanting but here are some nice ones.

You can sort of see the way he made a window that goes with the door.

I got one of them kids that falls asleep when I go wheeling. She says it is the rocking of the Jeep that does it.

I think I would leave the rear doors alone and just mod the front doors myself. Or if you are going to mod the rear doors I would make sure to leave the rear doors with enough height to allow your girls to lean against them and nap.

Yeah HeyYou....all mine.

Great example on the Toyota for sure. They are all sculpted for arm rest and door lock/levers. I do like that incorporation of padding for the arm rest. That is important not only for comfort, but also lending to protection.

The rear doors will definitely be modded. Having no B pillar makes to such that opening the rear door requires the front to open. With the mods, that you'll see in due time, the doors will not have to be opened most of the time while on trail. Comes in handy for when being parked slanted too. Front doors are heavy, especially for my better half.

The rear bench seat will be tossed for something else. Sleep is underrated anyways.

I have fond memories of when my kids were that age. They grow up way to fast.... (and make me feel old......)

As an extension of this idea; I'd keep the cutout and make a drop-in section (on some dowels).
Maybe finish it off with a canvas/plastic window panel.

If ya want some more you can have mine. They're all between 27 and 35, but none of them act any older than 12 and all are expensive to have around. And they come with grandkids for ya, too!

Hmmm, any kind of example on that dowel drop in Spillage? Conceptually of course. Alot of people will fill the section with expanding foam to add rigidity back....sort of. lol Really just a filler. I partially may do that, but really desire the necessary internals to work AND be accessible (removable panel).

Indeed that kind of makeup for the window. I'm thinking Cordura or similar material that is used for Jeep Soft Tops and Truck Bed Soft Caps.

Most of mine aren't within spitting distance. I think the closest is in missouri, 600 miles away, the rest are in Florida......1200 miles away....... The one daughter that actually lives nearby, pretty much takes care of herself. I just get to work on her car once in a while, and play with my grandkids. Yep, I have five at the moment, soon to be six......
